Home/2009 photos/South America/Colonia Del Sacramento, Uruguay

a couple of photos from an overnight trip from Buenos Aires While in Buenos Aires I had one night without hotel reservations. I had only booked a couple of nights in advance of the trip and so I found myself needing to look for a place to stay. I decided to take advantage of the situation and take off for someplace new. I left Buenos Aires on a Buquebus ferry and arrived in Colonia Del Sacramento, Uruguay in the early afternoon. After wandering around for a bit I went over to the tourist information office and asked them to assist in booking a hotel room. I got a cheaper hotel not far from the old part of town. The hotel was fine (though not great) but unfortunately I ended up spending more time than I would have wanted as the weather wasn't cooperating. The rain held off for most of that first day but that night it came and continued off and on for the rest of my stay. I took a few photos as I walked around town but mostly I used the time in Uruguay to write and read in cafes. In better weather Uruguay would make a nice beach or country escape from Buenos Aires.
